Ken Weathersby : Time Is the Diamond, 2011



	"Time Is the Diamond" is a group of very small works (most of them are less than 3 inches tall), shown together on shelves as a single piece. In this rotating cast, individual collage/paintings may be removed from the ensemble over time as new ones are added. Some emerge in relation to the development of larger paintings, while some stand as the sole expression of a given idea. The relationship between what is sketch, model and finished work remains open.
